How important is it to maintain a kinesthetic balance?

Balance is so very important, and I think we are swinging too hard the other way in dealing with abstract intellectual ideas. We are taking the body out of the equation; we are taking Earth out of the equation. Look at how we spent our spare time in the 1950s, and compare that to what we do now. We are staring at a monitor and shooting it with an electron gun. We work on computers all day, then we get on the Internet at night, then we watch television. What has that replaced? It has certainly replaced reading a book. How much of human relationships is that replacing? How much of our relationship with nature and Earth is that replacing? How much of the kinesthetic sense of space and time in the real world is that replacing? We need to get more balance.
